- pluc 3y agoDoes nobody remember that RSS integration with browser (Firefox Live Bookmarks anyone?) was spectacular before Chrome showed up? They easily could have integrated it a hundred different times a hundred different ways. They didn't. They've even shut their own RSS reader. They don't want content to be available to your standards, they want it available to advertisers'.
